TKAM Town Poem


You walk in to this town, and suddenly, the hope leaves your body

All around you are starving children, begging you for a morsel

Even the little felt pain.

People suffered in all sorts of weather.

Heat, cold, and rain.

Some people were light as a feather.

There wasn't a lot of knowledge left in the brain.

you would be surprised of the much needed change;

If change were ever to come, the time is far from near;

the whites' days remain with cheer;

the blacks' days remain with fear;Should this day come,

our town may be more happy;but until then,

the days remain cruel to the blacks.
